  • Still Life with Pots

    Sold

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A flourishing and captivating mid century Swedish still life artwork, painted in oil onto board.

    Executed in a modernist style, the artist depicts a simple yet effective composition of two plants in terracotta pots, sitting quietly against a restrained background.

    The muted earthy colour palette including shades of green and blue create a wonderful sense of harmony and balance within the picture, and also enriching the work with softness and a calming effect.  

    This oil on board is housed in a complementary gilt frame and is in overall very good vintage condition. There is a small stain just by the leaf on the left pot as well as some minor marks on the frame, but this does not detract from its overall attractiveness.

    The Guitar Player

    Sold

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A very well executed mid century cubist still life, painted in oil onto canvas.

    Reminiscent of works by cubist artists such as Pablo Picasso,  this painting has broken the figure and her instrument down into distinct planes, aiming to show different viewpoints at the same time and within the same space and so suggest their three dimensional form.  In doing so, this artist has emphasised the two-dimensional flatness of the canvas instead of creating the illusion of depth.

    The painting is housed in a simple gilt frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has some scuffs and marks.

  • The Mender

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A beautiful mid century modern gouache portrait, painted in 1959 and framed behind glass.

    This small but very well executed painting depicts a seated man, mending a net. There is a quiet sense of calm to this piece – the man sits casually on a simple box, focused on mending his net which he has propped on knee. There is something wholesome and comfortable about the scene, which the artist has captured beautifully.

    The artist has painted this in a typically modernist style, focusing on the forms and colours of the scene rather than realistic details. The sitters surroundings are undiscernible, drawing our attention instead toward the form of the man and his net, the geometric lines of the box,  the patterns and colours of his clothes.

    This gouache on paper is framed in its original wood frame, and is set behind glass. The gouache is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some minor marks and scuffs which do not detract from its overall attractiveness.

  • The Tree Line

    Sold

    Free UK Shipping Only.

    A very expressive but restful landscape scene in oil, painted in 1977.

    This piece is excellently executed, with skilful blending of post impressionist colour to create this landscape composition. Creamy, textured areas of paint have been layered and blended, encouraging our eyes to dance around the canvas and soak up the painterly details. The subject of the composition is wonderful to rest tired eyes on – a tree lined path in the rural countryside leads into the horizon, with clear skies up above. There is a sense that the artist might have been painting ‘en plein air’, capturing an emotional response to the landscape, as opposed to realistically depicting it.

    The painting is housed in a dark wood frame with an inner gilt window that really brings out its colours. The painting would make a fabulous statement piece in a living room or bedroom. The painting is in very good condition. The frame has some very minor scuffs but this certainly does not detract from its overall appeal.

  • Together

    Sold

    SOLD.

    An absolutely delightful mid century oil by Swedish artist Ivar Morsing, painted on to canvas. This seemingly simple yet very effective composition depicts figures on a beach. The artist has left out all realistic detail, using gentle yet expressive brushwork to capture the figures. There is a softness, and a tender-heartedness to the way he has captured the scene. Despite the use of the very minimalist palette, the artist has very skilfully imbued the painting with a luminosity, which is further enhanced by the gilt frame that surrounds it.

    Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Urbanscape

    Sold

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A very well executed mid century townscape painted in oil onto board.

    The artist has eliminated all details and has reduced the forms of the buildings down into simple yet very effective planes of colour. Although the application of colour appears to be casual and loose at first glance, further observation reveals that this composition has indeed been very carefully and thoughtfully structured and put together. Loose strokes of vertical and horizontal planes of colour come together seamlessly to create this town view.

    The painting is housed in its gorgeous mid century frame, which has a really lovely woven border. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • The Yard

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A mid century Swedish landscape oil, painted in an expressionist manner. The artist has used bold, sweeping brushstrokes in the lower half of the picture, with areas of impasto (where the paint is applied thickly such that it stands proud from the surface), in rich earthy colours. This is juxtaposed with the softer, more delicate strokes he has used for the trees in the upper half of the picture, which skilfully conveys the movement of the leaves in the wind. A group of farm dwellings sit in the centre of the picture, balancing the overall composition. The artist has used the medium of oil to successfully convey the raw, weathered textures of the rural buildings.  The subtle, earthy colour palette of this painting would make it a good fit in many interior settings.

    The painting is housed in an elegant gilt frame that suits it perfectly. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • The Pick Up

    Sold

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A wonderfully energetic and eclectic oil painting of a street scene, painted in a Naïve style.

    A well dressed couple with interesting expressions on their faces stand waiting along the pathway with a row of quaint and colourful houses behind them. A black taxi is seen bumbling its way down the road, presumably to pick the couple up.

    The artist has consciously chosen to eliminate realistic proportions as exemplified in reality – enlarging the scale of the 2 figures in comparison to their surroundings.  The vibrant colour palette as well as the swift and expressive brushstrokes used imbue the painting with a lively playfulness.

    This oil on board is in good vintage condition. It is housed in a silver frame with an inner linen lining, with some very minor scuffs that are only visible upon close inspection.

  • Fields of Gold

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A striking expressionist mid century landscape in oil, painted onto canvas.

    Using a lively palette comprising shades of yellow, white, grey and touches of pink and green, the artist has used short and painterly brushstrokes to create this uplifting yet relaxing composition. A fence is depicted running through lush yellow fields, with a gate opening in the middle of the landscape.

    Upon having a close-up look at the painting, one can notice the artist’s display of painterly skills – as he wonderfully layers colours upon one another to create this outstanding and lightly textured composition.

    This oil on canvas painting is housed in a simple white painted wood frame, which suits it very well and gives it a slightly more contemporary edge. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition

    A beautifully executed and distinctly modernist mid century oil portrait painted in 1951 and housed in a gilt frame.

    Here we see a painting of a figure, whose details have been paired right down to distinct brushstrokes in non realistic colours. This particularly modernist ethos of focusing on  colour and form imbues the painting with a timelessness that makes it very appealing. There is a rawness to the the work that gives this painting a very striking quality.

  • Shift

    Sold

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A striking and lightly textured abstract oil painting, that has been reduced down to block of colours and expressive brushstrokes.

    Layers of horizontal planes of saturated colours fill the canvas, and this pattern instils a sense of orderliness in the painting.

    The artist has used a lively palette, and the plethora of colours used shift between shades so harmoniously. At the top of the painting, we see planes of varying shades of blues. As we look further down, darker shades of browns and reds fill the bottom left of the work whereas yellows and orange sit at the bottom right of the work.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary wooden frame. There are very minor areas of craquelure (fine cracks in the paint, commensurate with its age), but the painting is in very good vintage condition overall.

  • Siesta

    Sold

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore..

    A wonderfully simple yet very effective composition, executed in oil in 1947. The artist has painted a scene of a figure lying in bed, but has paired it down to large swathes of colour and broad brushstrokes. For example, the artist has painted the figure’s head with three simple strokes in non-realistic colours. Leaving out any realistic detail, the artist uses contrasting colour very effectively, even allowing parts of the canvas to show through. The combination of minimal use of paint and effective technical skill allows us to really take in and enjoy all the discernible details while having a timelessness that enables this picture to suit many interior settings.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary wood frame. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

    The objects and buildings have been defined by dark thin outlines, drawing our attention to their individual forms and shape.

  • Wetland

    Sold

    SOLD.

    An atmospheric and visually calming mid century landscape composition, painted in oil onto canvas.

    The artist reconstructs this nature wetland with a foggy feel in a semi-abstract manner through the use of a restrained palette, flattened forms and painterly brushstrokes.

  • A Rainy Evening

    Sold

    SOLD.

    This wonderfully executed oil painting depicts a moody street scene in Stockholm. The rain is clearing, and the sun is slowly coming out to shine before it sets in the evening. Cars and figures are depicted on the roads, passing by colourful buildings.

    The brushstrokes and colour palette capture the melancholy poignantly in this 1950s painting. Expressive and multi-directional strokes in a blended palette of sombre colours create an intensity and texture that conveys the mood of the picture.

    A calming mid-century modernist style landscape scene of a town, executed in oil.

  • Calla Lilies in the Moonlight

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A large and brilliantly executed mid century still life in oil, painted in 1948.

    A group of fluted flowers sit within a simple cylindrical vase on a windowsill. The way in which the artist has painted the moonlight streaming in gives this painting its distinctly cinematic quality.  The glow of the flowers underneath the moonlight add to this dramatic effect. The colour palette has a hint of melancholia, where deep colours of blue and green repeat throughout the composition, from the flowers, to the vase they sit in , to the sill and to the window. With its richly romantic character and its delicately balanced composition, this mid century oil would definitely add something special and elevate the space it is hung in.

    This oil on board is in very good vintage condition. The ornate decorative gilt frame within which it is housed suits the dramatic nature of this painting wonderfully.

  • Pastel Valley

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A visually striking and uplifting modernist landscape composition, executed in oil in 1956.

    This atmospheric painting presents a scenic view of a pathway winding through lush trees and houses in a valley.

    Realistic details have intentionally been left out, as the artist reconstructs this landscape scene by reducing its forms down to coloured shapes and distinct brushstrokes.

    Blocks of contrasting muted pastel shades have been executed with expressive and painterly brushstrokes, imbuing the work with an energising feel whilst demonstrating depth and width to the painting.

    This oil on canvas is in excellent vintage condition. It is housed in a unique gilt and black frame that enhances the painting. There are minor areas of scuff and paint loss on the frame.

  • Chartreuse

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A mid century abstract modernist oil, painted onto canvas.

    Large gestural brushstrokes in rich earthy colours of green, brown and yellow have been applied to the canvas, creating a composition that takes its inspiration from the landscape. The sweeping of the brush work adds to the emotive impact of the painting and brings our attention to the materiality of the paint and the physical movement of the artist’s hand.

    The painting is housed in a simple gilt frame which plays off the colours of the painting brilliantly. There is an area of restoration to the top half of the painting, where surface paint loss appears to have been filled in (unless viewed closely, it looks like an area of impasto rather than a condition issue). There is light scattered craquelure present but the paint layer is stable overall.

  • East and Beyond

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A small but powerful abstract composition by British artist Lloyd Durling, painted with oil stick and graphite onto linen panel. Signed, titled and dated on reverse.

    Central to these paintings is an intense engagement with oil stick and graphite on linen that explore the interface between painting, drawing and collage. There is a balance between expressive play and tight control and with this comes an expanse of associations that push beyond simple categorisations of abstraction or scale. The information in each painting, given by gesture or mark, is reduced to a fleeting register on the surface, as if each mark has to count.  

     

    The idea of topography is of central importance and is explored through continuing walking projects. These serve as opportunities to gather diverse source material through physical and emotional interactions with whichever environment chosen to traverse. It amounts to a kind of urban and rural wandering where the information gathered is reinterpreted or reimagined feeding into a deep connection with landscape, arrangements of ancient monuments, light, shadow and forgotten histories – all of these elements find a way into the work. 

    Both painting and frame are in excellent condition. 

    Lloyd Durling is a British artist working in London. His practice is painting-based and he has exhibited widely throughout Europe, U.S.A and Asia. In 2017 he was awarded a Pollock-Krasner Foundation grant. Works are held in both public and private collections worldwide.
